Movie tanks and terrible Vismods
EnsignExpendable replied to Walter_Sobchak's topic in Mechanized Warfare
It's not a real T-34. They get away with it in a really quick shot from far away, but closer up it looks terrible. -
The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines
EnsignExpendable replied to T___A's topic in Mechanized Warfare
My article on the study of the T-34 in the UK is out: https://warspot.ru/13725-tridtsatchyotverka-na-gastrolyah Shockingly not a lot of mad patriots in the comments, people got a lot angrier when the British insulted their precious Panther.- 5,188 replies

Movie tanks and terrible Vismods
EnsignExpendable replied to Walter_Sobchak's topic in Mechanized Warfare
Honestly, the tanks are probably the least bad thing about this movie... -
It's a cutaway tank that's missing the turret as well, I don't think they are going to be restoring it. Canadian M4A2E8s are a dime a dozen, even this museum has another working one.

Here's the inside of a Canadian M4A2E8. What's the orange cylinder in the middle? Looks like it could be the turret basket foundation or something like that, except the E8 shouldn't have one. fff

Could Sherman tanks still have some military use?
EnsignExpendable replied to Proyas's topic in Mechanized Warfare
You can probably get 1-2 T-55s for the price of a running Sherman. Although T-34-85s are still in service in parts of the world, so as long as you're not engaging tanks or modern AT weapons the Shermans will do fine. -
WoT had those Chaffee races that were really fun, did they ever do an event like that again?

Whatever happened to that Chinese webcam equipped APC that Azov was building? -
Tanks of the Commonwealth in WWII thread
EnsignExpendable replied to Walter_Sobchak's topic in Mechanized Warfare
My article on the combat career of the Sextons with the Canadian army: https://warspot.ru/13422-ponomar-vstupaet-v-boy Unfortunately I signed my soul away to Wargaming, so there won't be an English version for quite some time. -
The Enema Thread (Moderator: Tied)
EnsignExpendable replied to Sturgeon's topic in Fiction & Entertainment
Finally, an anime worth watching. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/2178724/china-produces-karl-marx-cartoon-series-mark-200th-anniversary?fbclid=IwAR0d83e_FHGiS1AAHe7QeKLuPIvmUzuBeFLOz9jSS1sfjSM1CcGZJQPX5W0 -
@Jeeps_Guns_Tanks you've probably seen this photo a million times, but I'm adding it as a reference anyway. The stationary gun mantlet is marked as 85 mm thick. Is that the thickness throughout, or is it thinner around the sides? Similar question about the turret, where does the armour change over between 3 inches and 2 inches in thickness?

You can buy a licensed hunting carbine conversion of a DP machinegun, compared to that a Mosin doesn't seem so interesting

Did you know that not only was the AK copied from the Stg, but the Mosin is actually just a Mauser?

Unlikely, the Americans didn't have a sample of Soviet sights until 1943, at which point the Sherman was already very much a thing. Jeeps might correct me, but I don't think there was a radical redesign in sights after the rotor sight was replaced with a telescopic sight.
-
Interesting, the British did some tests in North Africa with captured sights. Unfortunately, they do not comment on the quality of the sights, but unsurprisingly they conclude that sights with magnification are better for looking at things that are far away than sights without magnification.

Any good WWII themed stuff on sale on Steam/GoG/etc? I'm looking at Sniper Elite 4, I enjoyed 3 while it worked on my computer, 4 seems like more of the same. Anything else I should check out?

The British liked the Logansport the least, then Westinghouse, then Oilgear.

A Soviet installer would be performed in a hall with 15 windows (all but one are closed) where you stand in line to hand your hard drive to an uninterested woman who will reluctantly give you a ticket so you can stand in line to the payment kiosk, then once you have paid return to the woman so she can install the software for you.

Any idea which factory this is? This is a super early Sherman by the looks of it, so there can't be that many to choose from.
